Make sure you have the media RIGHT THERE...cause American Cops just have no sense of humor

I'm thinking maybe go to a concert and dress like Harpo Marx --- wear a long trenchcoat -- and start pulling things out of your "pockets"...like a full grown silk Pot Plant... a huge fake cigar... etc.

By the way, in Horse Feathers there is a great scene where harpo is forced to "smoke rope"... those Marx brothers, they just crack me up

I don't think games like that will get marijuana legalized by itself. It could be a way to get some media attention though. There has been a sort of new concept (it could be old already) of flash mobs getting some media-attention over here and in the UK. See eg http://flashmob.co.uk/

A concept like this could be used to get some attention for the prohibition of Cannabis. With a carefully written script, like people gathering at 13.43 dressed like Harpo Max or in business suits in a very public place (Congress/Wall Street/etc) and all lighting fake joints at 13.44 (eg tobacco filled) If the cops intercept communications (like they wouldn't ) there is no illegal activity, at the same it can get some TV airtime. The more ridiculous the better probably.

In Amsterdam a mob of +/- 30 people gathered at a supermarket and started photograping and cheering people leaving the supermarket as if they were supermodels. If you can get people interested in participating in something like that why not add the good cause of exposing the absurdity of marijuana prohibition to it?

On the other hand there is aways a risk only 3 people show up, with 200 cops and 10 TV crews waiting that might look a bit silly

Just 2 cts.

PS: I noticed another shop claiming to be the first: Sarasani in Utrecht claims to have started in 1968:

I think animals do have a sense of good or evil and what it is, but i think that the will of survival is a much bigger priority.

One of the downfalls of capitalism. However "Ma and Pa" cannabis farms are possible considering its ability to endure a variety of weather climates and flourishes powerfully in many, so a monopoly might not be imminent.

Shisha / Nargilah / Hookah bars (usually flavored, tobacco "coals" smoked in a hookah), common in the middle east might make a bigger impact on the far western world and create a lot of new jobs, if it is equal in popularity with Coffeeshops or more mid-eastern style smoking cafes/lounges, like the nargilah bars / cafes.

There also is far less binge drinking in European countries, especially among teenagers. I went from K-11 in Antwerp, Belgium. The American culture is different a lot of ways, which is why I think people would handle the whole "marijuana situation" differently here in the US.
